Why has Dish stopped 4K World Cup coverage? The guide shows no 4K programming on channel 540 through June 31. Is the guide wrong? Has coverage moved to another channel?

I am showing matches all the way through July 2 on channel 540-02, the same channel they have been on since the start.

Channel 450-2 was not displayed in my Favorites screen, but 540-1 was. All I had to do was move the cursor to display 540 -2 and there they were -- DUH!!! Thanks to Bobby and LQQK for your help.

Really ? Where exactly ?

On my Hopper 3, I hit the home button on the remote twice.

It’s the third icon on the top.

Indeed. Thanks for the update. Unfortunatly not all of the movies in this list are free. Several of them ( the ones which are also listed on ch. 501's 4K offerings ) are available only for rental. The rest however, are suprisingly free of charge. Who'd a thunk it ? :clapping

The majority of that "free" 4k content is probably all old aside from a few offerings. I keep checking that area although I haven't for about 2 weeks. It's been the same old toe jam offerings since I got the Hopper3 probably 8 months ago now. I would have expected for Dish to keep adding. Instead they actually took away from those offerings and knocked the amount in half. Seems though that more has FINALLY been added from your count of 13. I haven't checked it yet to see what is actually offered. One item they did have on there was a bbc offering about the planet I think it was. We watched the first 2 eps of it which was about the ocean then it was gone the next time we went to watch ep3.

So far for myself I haven't seen the need to even upgrade to the H3. I'm paying extra for nothing useful for me personally. Didn't even watch the Olympics in 4k because it was a day behind. At that point why watch it. The news already announces all the US medals. Nice to know Fifa is alongside the normal HD. Sad it's been going for so long already and I just found out it's on the 4K channel the other day. Today will be the first day we can check it out.

I wish Dish emailed or had something pop up on the Genie to alert of new 4k content or streamed games. Had I not come here to see what others were talking about on 4k/dish the other day I would have never known Fifa was actually being televised in 4K. So again thank you for who posted that.
